I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes:
(i)
the call by French President Jacques Chirac for French car manufacturers to produce hybrid vehicles at affordable prices within 10 years, and
(ii)
that Citroen now plans to have a diesel hybrid vehicle on the road in this time frame, noting its fuel efficiency benefits over petrol hybrid vehicles; and
(b)
encourages the Government to similarly call for Australian auto manufacturers to produce diesel hybrid vehicles.

Question agreed to.
